Chapter 348: Chapter 348

"We just need to blend in with this medical team. I’ve already inquired with my teacher, and the people in this medical team are from all over Flame Country and don’t really know each other."

"This way, we can perfectly conceal our identities."

At this moment, Zhang Lingxue arrived at a mysterious temple.

After her Poison Dragon Butterfly defeated a ferocious Nine-tailed White Fox, the white fox transformed into a White Jade Hairpin.

Embroidered on the hairpin was a playful and cute Nine-tailed Celestial Fox.

And at the very center of the hairpin, three words, "Heart Moon Fox," pure and white as jade, were gathered.

"Congratulations, you have successfully become the Heart Moon Fox of the Twenty-Eight Constellations."

An old woman walked up slowly with the help of a cane.

A playful and cute white fox followed closely behind, fearful of losing track of the old woman.

Zhang Lingxue said respectfully.

Old Mother Qian was the previous Heart Moon Fox.

"Oh, if the Madame were still here, she would be the one bestowing the title upon you."

"Such a talented woman, it’s such a pity that after defeating the Blood Saint, she met an untimely death."

"It is said that she had a child, but the child was protected by the Madame’s backup plans."

"Zhang Lingxue, you are officially taking over the role of the fifth star, Heart Moon Fox, in the Twenty-Eight Constellations, Canglong Seven Star."

"Bestow upon the Heart Moon Fox the White Fox Hairpin."

The White Fox Hairpin immediately transformed into a stream of light, merging into Zhang Lingxue’s long, shiny black hair like a waterfall.

A hairpin of pure white jade appeared within her hair.

The material of the hairpin was transparent, resembling solidified moonlight, warm and elegant.

Exquisite patterns were engraved on the body of the hairpin, shimmering with a faint glow, with a coiled form of a Nine-tailed White Fox at the tail of the hairpin.

As she moved, it swayed lightly, emitting a tinkling sound similar to jade colliding.

A hint of heroic spirit showed in her brow, her sharp eyebrows slightly raised, and her eyes were deep and profound.

"This is the pet beast exclusive to the Heart Moon Fox, the White Fox."

"It will only materialize after the Heart Moon Fox assumes her role."

"It is an auspicious beast, capable of discerning good from evil and reading the human heart."

"Heart Moon Fox, there is a very important mission that requires your personal involvement."

"It concerns the previous Kuimu Wolf; we want to investigate the reason for his disappearance."

"Before he disappeared, he sent a message saying he had obtained an artifact capable of unlocking dual talents."

"Then, on his way to the Imperial Capital, he mysteriously vanished."

"At that time, he was ranked fifth in the Twenty-Eight Constellations and was skilled in using the Celestial Wolf Claw, and his companion auspicious beast was the Celestial Wolf."

"I hope you can find the whereabouts of Kuimu Wolf and retrieve the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade, a weapon solely belonging to Kuimu Wolf."

Zhang Lingxue nodded.

She knew that once she joined the Twenty-Eight Constellations, her time would no longer be under her control.

Wanting to conduct experiments leisurely as before would not be as easy.

However, her superiors still took her research talents into account, and as long as she completed ten tasks a year, the remaining time would be hers to control.

"Alright, Old Mother Qian, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

When Zhang Lingxue returned to her laboratory, she opened the envelope, and inside was a very old disk.

The date on the disk was sixteen years ago.

"The Heart Moon Fox died sixteen years ago, and Kuimu Wolf disappeared sixteen years ago. Could there be some connection between the two?"

Zhang Lingxue felt that to investigate Kuimu Wolf’s whereabouts, she might also need to look into the previous Heart Moon Fox’s detailed information. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel✦fire.net

The white fox’s stomach let out a rumbling sound.

It looked at Zhang Lingxue with a face full of grievance, rubbing its little paws on its stomach, as if to say, "I’m hungry."

"Haha, little guy, I have some top-quality milk from the Milk Whale here. Want a taste?"

Milk Whale is a very precious whale species, only found in the deep sea, capable of releasing three hundred liters of milk each time.

However, collecting the milk from the Milk Whale is a very difficult task; the milk mixed with seawater becomes sour and unpalatable.

The white fox caught a whiff of the milky fragrance emanating from a milk bottle, looking eagerly at Zhang Lingxue.

Zhang Lingxue found a saucer and poured the Milk Whale milk into it, watching the white fox stretch out its bright red tongue, lapping up the milk little by little.

Its eyes revealed a very contented expression.

"I wonder what Ye Bai is doing right now?"

Zhang Lingxue knew that Ye Bai had been sent to the South Celestial Gate on a very important mission.

When he returns, finding out that his teacher has become the Heart Moon Fox of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, she wonders what his reaction will be.

Ye Bai also took this opportunity to check the strength of his pet beasts.

First Contract: Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm (Tier Five): Special move mimicry: Can mimic the evolved forms of Hundred-Change Silkworm, Thousand-Change Silkworm, and Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm. Currently, mimicry can be arbitrarily transformed, and a single Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm is like an army.

Second Contract: Nether Wolf (Tier Five): Special moves: Hellfire, Purgatory Fire.

Third Contract: True Dragon Spirit (Tier Six, leap tier contract): Composed of an unknown ancient bronze sword + seven Myriad Dragon Blades.

Fourth Contract: Sunflower Emperor (Tier Five): Wielding two dual blades: Black Flood Dragon Saber and Poison Dragon Blade, capable of brewing Celestial Dew and Sunflower Honey.

Plant Enslavement Target: Divine Farmer Ginseng Bai Luo (Tier Five), evolved into a new form from Mandala Grass Emperor.

Mirage Dragon (Tier Five), fond of manipulating illusions.

Fifth Contract: Space Pelican (Tier Five): Special moves: Spatial Transfer, Spatial Storm.

Sixth Contract: Big Gray (Thunderbolt Dragon Cat) (Tier Six, Yin-Yang Lotus leap tier contract): Wielding Mjolnir, donning Thunder God Battle Armor.

Seventh Contract: Little Han (Cold Ice Glaze Dragon) (Tier Four, activated early with Oath Dragon Pearl contract position).

Although there are a total of seven contracted pet beasts, if you add Divine Farmer Ginseng Bai Luo and Mirage Dragon, Ye Bai has the equivalent of nine pet beasts.

"By the way, wasn’t it that assassin sent to kill Su Qingxian’s mentor, that one killer?"

"I wonder if these two Mirage Dragon Pearls have any use for it."

"The Sunflower Emperor, summon the Mirage Dragon."

A great Mirage Dragon appeared in the laboratory, closing its shell tightly, playing dead immediately.

The Sunflower Emperor smiled coldly, and it directly manipulated its plant servant, the Mirage Dragon felt a murderous aura coming towards it and hesitated for not even a second before opening its large shell.

The Mirage Dragon felt a murderous aura coming towards it, and without a moment’s hesitation, it opened its great shell.

Then, Ye Bai clearly saw the entire Mirage Dragon. It resembled a large conch, and in the air, a Mirage Dragon Pearl floated.

"Go ahead, Mirage Dragon Pearl."

Under Ye Bai’s gaze, these three Mirage Dragon Pearls combined with each other like water and milk, emitting a dazzling white light.

Suddenly, Ye Bai felt as if he was on an island.

The surrounding scenery was vividly real; if Ye Bai hadn’t known it was an illusion created by the Mirage Dragon, it would have been very helpful to him.

"Sunflower Emperor, make the Mirage Dragon dispel this illusion."

The Sunflower Emperor nodded, it directly harnessed its plant control, and the Mirage Dragon felt a murderous intent approaching it, hesitating not even for a second before it opened its large shell.

The illusion shattered instantly, and Ye Bai appeared back in his laboratory.

"Very well, let’s set off to the South Celestial Gate then."

According to Ye Bai’s calculations, the incubation period of the Abyssal Spores is two weeks, and now more than half of that time has passed.
